Long Bright River by Liz Moore
Type : epub |
Size : 529.48 KB |

Descirption: Two sisters travel the same streets,though their lives couldn't be more different.
Then one of them goes missing.
In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her security officer beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling.
Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit--and her sister--before it's too late.
Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.

Descirption: Investigator Kendra Michaels -- whose former blindness has left her with uniquely insightful observational skills -- must put her life on the line to catch a terrifying murderer setting his sights on some of society's most vulnerable in this electrifying new novel from the #1 <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600">New York Times and Edgar Award winning writing duo Iris and Roy Johansen.
Dr. Kendra Michaels, blind for the first twenty years of her life before gaining her sight via a revolutionary surgical procedure, is a renowned investigator known for her razor-sharp senses--honed during her years in the dark--and keen deductive abilities.
Now her skills are needed uncomfortably close to home. Two staff members have been murdered at a college for the blind where Kendra spent her formative years. But the murders are puzzlingly dissimilar: one victim was brutally stabbed, while the other was killed by a bullet to the head. Are the crimes related? Or is Kendra on the hunt for more than one dangerous killer?
With the killer (or killers) still on the loose, Kendra must put her life on the line to unravel a terrifying conspiracy. But Kendra soon discovers that she herself may hold the key to the deadliest secret of all..

The Gimmicks by Chris McCormick
Type : epub |
Size : 365.86 KB |
English |
Descirption: Set in the waning years of the Cold War, a stunning debut novel about a trio of young Armenians that moves from the Soviet Union, across Europe, to Southern California, and at its center, one of the most tragic cataclysms in twentieth-century history-the Armenian Genocide-whose traumatic reverberations will have unexpected consequences on all three lives.
This exuberant, wholly original novel begins in Kirovakan, Armenia, in 1971. Ruben Petrosian is a serious, solitary young man who cares about two things: mastering the game of backgammon to beat his archrival, Mina, and studying the history of his ancestors. Ruben grieves the victims of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, a crime still denied by the descendants of its perpetrators, and dreams of vengeance.
When his orphaned cousin, Avo, comes to live with his family, Ruben's life is transformed. Gregarious and physically enormous, with a distinct unibrow that becomes his signature, Avo is instantly beloved. He is everything Ruben is not, yet the two form a bond they swear never to break.
But their paths diverge when Ruben vanishes-drafted into an extremist group that will stop at nothing to make Turkey acknowledge the genocide. Unmoored by Ruben's disappearance, Avo and Mina grow close in his absence. But fate brings the cousins together once more, when Ruben secretly contacts Avo, convincing him to leave Mina and join the extremists-a choice that will dramatically alter the course of their lives.
Left to unravel the threads of this story is Terry "Angel Hair" Krill, a veteran of both the US Navy and the funhouse world of professional wrestling, whose life intersects with Avo, Ruben, and Mina's in surprising and devastating ways.
Told through alternating perspectives, The Gimmicks is a masterpiece of storytelling. Chris McCormick brilliantly illuminates the impact of history and injustice on ordinary lives and challenges us to confront the spectacle of violence and the specter of its aftermath.

Descirption: From New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz comes a new gripping romantic suspense trilogy fraught with danger and enigma.
Decades ago in the small town of Fogg Lake, "The Incident" occurred: an explosion in the cave system that released unknown gases. The residents slept for two days. When they woke up they discovered that things had changed-they had changed. Some started having visions. Others heard ominous voices. And then the scientists from a mysterious government agency arrived. Determined not to become research subjects of strange experiments, the residents of Fogg Lake blamed the "hallucinations" on local mushrooms, and the story worked. But now it has become apparent that the eerie effects of The Incident are showing up in the descendants of Fogg Lake...

Sexual Intelligence
Type : epub |
Size : 637.86 KB |

Descirption: Enjoyable sex: it's not about technique or a perfect body or being hopelessly, passionately in love. It's about Sexual Intelligence.
In his three decades of working with couples and individuals as a sex therapist and marriage counselor, Dr. Marty Klein has continually seen that although most people say what they want from sex is pleasure and closeness, that's not what they focus on during sex. Instead, we're preoccupied with how we look, what our partner is thinking, how we're performing, and whether we're normal. We do more thinking, worrying, and judging than experiencing. Sex like that can't thrill us, can't create intimacy, and can't, well, feel sexy.
In Sexual Intelligence, Klein sho how to stop observing ourselves during sex, ending our obsession with sexual performance and sexual normality. I don't help people 'function' better during sex, he says. I teach people how to relax and enjoy sex with the body...

Descirption: Some secrets are too big to stay buried...
A few months ago, Boston expat Maura Donovan was rekindled with her mother after more than twenty years of absence. Since then, Maura has been getting accustomed to Irish living, complete with an inherited house and a pub named Sullivan's. But now, her mother has returned-and she's brought Maura's half-sister in tow. To make matters more confusing, a handful of Cork University students are knocking on Maura's door asking about a mystical fairy fort that happens to be located on Maura's piece of land.
The lore indicates that messing with the fort can cause bad luck, and most everyone is telling Maura not to get too involved for fear of its powers, but Maura is curious about her own land, and she definitely doesn't buy into the superstition. Then one of the students disappears after a day of scoping out the fort on Maura's property.
Maura treads carefully, asking the folks around town who might have an idea, but no one...

Descirption: <a href="https://.goodreads.com/book/show/9517967-only-joking">Only Joking</a>
<span id="freeText562387049859760795"> Britain's hottest young comedian presents a seriously funny, up-close look at joking matters-from the social origins of laughter, to the art and craft of humor, to why we can never remember the punch line-featuring over 300 jokes.
As the host of the hit game show Distraction (now in its third season on Comedy Central) and one of the premier stand-up acts working today, award-winning comedian Jimmy Carr has won over millions of fans around the world with his trademark rapier wit, laced with "exquisitely economical and perfectly timed one-liners" (The Guardian). For this book he teams up with friend and fellow comedy writer Lucy Greeves to take an in-depth look at where humor comes from and how it works, through exploring its purest form: the joke. Only Joking begins with the mechanism of laughter-how it happens and why even infants do it-then delves into the power of the punch line, exploring the basics of all jokes, from the use of shock and surprise to advanced stand-up techniques such as the "pull-back/reveal." Carr and Greeves go on to explore taboo humor, jokes that bomb, and the psychology of finding something funny. They look into the long-standing connection between politics and humor, and discuss the survival prospects for contentious jokes in the current political climate. Throughout the book they conjure up a supporting cast of colorful joke enthusiasts, from Sigmund Freud to Lenny Bruce, and discuss their influence on the jokes we tell today. Surveying across national, ethnic, and gender divides, this rollicking analysis of why joking will always be close to the human heart is an irresistible exploration of humor that makes clear why we need a good laugh now more than ever.

101 Ways to Lose Weight and Never Find It Again by Scott Baptie

Descirption: If you're fed up with dieting, detoxing, punishing fitness regimes, 'clean eating' and deprivation, then this is the book for you. Your days of kale smoothies and chia seeds are over. You'll never need to take another 'fat-burner' again, you won't have to re-mortgage the house to buy the latest detox kit, nor will you have to force yourself to eat nothing but chicken, broccoli and brown rice six times a day because a magazine feature told you to... 101 Ways to Lose Weight and Never Find It Again is for everyone who is sick of restricting, dieting, detoxing and confusing weight-loss advice. The book contains clear, enjoyable and easy-to-follow habits that will help you to get leaner, fitter, stronger and happier without the hunger and heartache. Why this book is different: Many popular weight-loss books just offer a slightly different 'diet' that demonises a certain food (sugar, carbs, fat, wheat, etc). These FAD-dy books promote a form of pseudoscientific 'clean eating'...

Hiding in Plain Sight How to Protect Your Privacy and Safety in an Ever-Increasingly Dangerous and Digital World - John Snape
Type : epub |
Size : 211.88 KB |
English |
Descirption: This is the second edition of Hiding in Plain Sight. I've re-arranged, modified and updated almost everything from the first edition.
Today, there are threats coming from all sides to our privacy and security. Some of them are physical and some are digital. Taking a few steps, some of them simple, some not-so-simple, will help keep you off the radar, allowing you to 'hide in plain sight.'
It's been said that a good spy can hide in a crowd of one. Blending in and becoming bland and non-noticeable is a good skill to learn. If you can do it in both the physical and digital world, all the better.
Protecting yourself is slowly getting more difficult in this connected world. Steps you take today have repercussions in the future. You're never sure when you'll be thrust into the spotlight, and how far into your personal life others might dig. And it's not just a private investigator, it could be a lawyer seeing dollar signs in your assets, a disgruntled ex-employee, a jilted ex-lover, or even just a crazed road-rager. Having protection in place before you're exposed goes a long way to keeping you, and your family, safe.
